Zeda’s clinical take
SA Murad Master Clinician of the Year
“Deep cystic breakouts are painful — physically and emotionally. This is what I recommend when a client has one of those under-the-skin bumps that won’t come to a head. The ground cherry blend is the real innovation here — a plant-sourced alternative that mimics the anti-inflammatory effect of a steroid shot without the prescription or the needles. The film-forming polymer holds the actives in contact with skin far longer than a standard spot treatment.”
Recommended for: deep cystic breakouts, painful under-skin bumps, severe blemishes, breakout-prone skin needing maximum-strength spot treatment
No Prescription Required — Accelerated-Healing Treatment for Deep, Uncomfortable Breakouts
When the pain and swelling of deep bumps is more than you can bear — but a cortisone shot isn’t in the cards — this powerful leave-on treatment is stacked with salicylic acid and ground cherry extract for quick and long-term relief. Clinically proven to deliver a clearer, healthier-looking complexion.

Your Deep Relief Ritual
Clinic tip: Apply as soon as you feel a deep breakout forming — the earlier you start, the better the result. The film-forming polymer creates a seal over the active ingredients, so avoid touching or rubbing the area after application.
